Trump Administration Reads In Conservative Podcasters On State Of Iran Negotiations

May 25, 2026/in Anti-Semitism, Hot Topics, Iranian influence, Islam, Peace Through Strength, Radical Islamic Terrorism, Terrorism, Violence/by The Daily Caller

The White House briefed multiple conservative media figures on negotiations with Iran over a potential peace deal which could end the nearly three-month-long armed conflict.

Multiple conservative media figures, including Salem Radio Network host Scott Jennings, Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany, Daily Caller Editorial Director Vince Coglianese, and Turning Point USA’s Andrew Kolvet took to X to defend President Donald Trump’s efforts following a briefing with a “senior administration official.” Coglianese outlined what the unidentified official told them about progress in the talks, saying there had been one marked shift in the Iranians’ tone, using the phrase “NO DUST, NO DOLLARS” as the “topline.”

The senior administration official told Coglianese and others the Iranians were “clearly talking details about getting rid of the enriched stockpile in a way they never have before” and had agreed to end further uranium enrichment.

“They have acknowledged that is something they’re going to have to give on,” the official added.

Just briefed by a senior Trump admin official. I feel VERY good about where the Iran negotiations are going.

TOPLINE: “NO DUST, NO DOLLARS” — Iran doesn’t get a dime unless they actually produce real results.

Details:

The Trump administration believes it is now just days away…

“Iran doesn’t get a dime unless they actually produce real results,” Coglianese posted, adding, “The Trump administration believes it is now just days away from a memorandum of understanding with the Iranian regime. It won’t be signed today or tomorrow, the official says, but that’s primarily because communication with Iranian leadership moves very slowly.”

“Relief is phased in when Iran actually delivers,” Coglianese posted later. “If they deliver their stockpile of enriched uranium, they’ll get some sanctions relief. If they deliver real long-term commitments to stop nuclear enrichment, they’ll get some sanctions relief.”

Trump took to Truth Social on Sunday to target critics of the agreement’s rumored provisions. Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, former Trump Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and other conservatives expressed concern over the potential deal on social media, even citing how the reported deal drew praise from former Biden administration official Robert Malley. Malley was the lead negotiator of former President Barack Obama’s 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran; Trump said any deal he accepted would be nothing like the that which Obama signed.

“If I make a deal with Iran, it will be a good and proper one, not like the one made by Obama, which gave Iran massive amounts of CASH, and a clear and open path to a Nuclear Weapon,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Our deal is the exact opposite, but nobody has seen it, or knows what it is. It isn’t even fully negotiated yet.”

“So don’t listen to the losers, who are critical about something they know nothing about,” he continued. “Unlike those before me who should have solved this problem many years ago, I don’t make bad deals!”

Former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent, who resigned from the Trump administration March 17 over the conflict, warned in a Saturday post on X the United States would have to also address Israel after he expressed optimism about an end to the fighting.

“To make the deal effective we have to be realistic about Israel. We must recognize that a peace deal of any kind with the Iranian regime will be viewed by Israelis as an existential threat to their objectives, therefore they will seek to thwart the deal,” Kent said. “To stop the Israelis from thwarting a potential peace deal, we will have to take away the military support that we provide that allows them to go on the offensive against Iran, and make it clear more will be taken from them if they attack Lebanon.”

More than three out of four respondents to a CBS News poll released May 17 said they felt “concerned” about the economy, while two in three said they felt “stressed” as the war continues to affect the U.S. economy, such as stubbornly high inflation, particularly due to higher energy prices.

The average price of a gallon of gas in the U.S. on Sunday was $4.515, according to AAA, up over $1.50 from that of Feb. 26 — $2.98 per gallon — days before the start of U.S. and Israeli military operations against Iran. Diesel prices have also soared to an average of just over $5.62 a gallon at the time of writing, which affects multiple sectors of the economy.

The United States and Israel launched military strikes against Iran on Feb. 28 after talks over the Islamic regime’s nuclear weapons program broke down. Trump and other administration officials asserted the Iranian nuclear program was “obliterated” after the June 2025 strike against multiple Iranian nuclear sites, but maintained Iran posed a threat to the U.S. without providing specific details.

During a May 10 interview on “Meet the Press,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright told host Kristen Welker that Iran possessed sufficient material for ten nuclear devices and nearly 1,000 pounds of uranium enriched to 60%. Trump Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff made comparable claims during a March 2 appearance on “Hannity.” The administration has not provided evidence to substantiate these assertions from either Witkoff or Wright.

The New York Times reported April 7 that, although there was skepticism among a number of administration officials, including Vice President JD Vance, Trump was persuaded to authorize the military campaign against Iran following a February meeting at the White House by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Scott Jennings Calls Out Seth Moulton for Suggesting Secretary Hegseth Be Executed for ‘War Crimes’

May 2, 2026/in Commentary, Elections, Hot Topics, Marxism, News, Terrorism, The Truth, Violence, Waste, Fraud and Abuse/by Royal A. Brown III

“A sitting U.S. Rep Seth Moulton (Democrat, Mass) openly advocated for execution of a political opponent (Secretaryy of War Pete Hegseth) for what he labled war crimes. That’s not rhetoric. That’s “deranged bloodlust.”

If anyone is to be executed for war crimes it should be all the Generals/Admirals responsible for the disastrous exit from Afghanistan ordered by Biden resulting in unnecessary deaths of 13 Marines and severe wounding of 40+ others along with handing over to enemy $90B worth of equipment, a strategic Air Base and $220M in cash.

Also those involved in lack of leadership; lack of support and terrible ROE (including Admiral McRaven) resulting in deaths of 30 of our military (including 16 SEALs) needlessly killed in Operation Extortion 17. Single largest loss of American life in one day during Afghan war.

The Democrats are not well, at all. We expected them to go into the midterms talking about the economy and affordability, and instead they’ve doubled down on pushing a revenge tour complete with the weaponization of government against the Trump administration and Trump voters.

Rep. Seth Moulton escalated that, making the not-too-subtle suggestion that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth be executed for war crimes. Scott Jennings pointed this out to CNN’s Anderson Cooper, who didn’t believe it.

“Honestly, too, Hegseth here, he gets banged on a lot,” Jennings said. “I saw Seth Moulton, a Democrat member of Congress, on our air last night, suggesting that he needed to be executed for war crimes. And so there is a lot of rhetorical volleying going on here and so I give him a little latitude on that because he’s taken a fair amount of incoming.”

“But he’s there also to defend the military. He runs the military, he’s there to defend the military,” Jennings continued, “and I don’t think you could argue with a straight face anything other than they have performed brilliantly. But some of the Democrats have suggested otherwise and I think that’s what he’s getting at.”

“I didn’t hear Moulton last night,” Cooper said, “but I don’t think he said he was.”

“He did,” Jennings replied. “He said it to Erin Burnett.”

They then cut to Moulton with Erin Burnett.

“Back on World War II, the Allies tried Nazi submarine captains for doing this exact same thing,” Moulton said. “And guess what the conclusion was? They got executed. Listen to that, Mr. Secretary.”

‘Witness Protection’: Media-Friendly Tim Walz Has Disappeared From Airwaves Since Joining Harris Ticket

September 6, 2024/in Censorship, Culture War, Elections, Featured, Hot Topics, News, Policy, Politics, Social Issues, Socialism/by The Daily Caller

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz rose to prominence by making the rounds in mainstream media interviews, but since being named Kamala Harris’s running mate, the “folksy”, “midwestern dad” has been missing from the airwaves.

From July 22 to Aug. 6, about two weeks before he was added to the ticket, Walz appeared on MSNBC, PBS, CNN and Fox News a total of ten times, an analysis by Newsbusters’ Curtis Houck, shared with the Daily Caller, showed. Since Harris chose Walz as her running mate on Aug. 6, the governor has not appeared on the networks he flocked to during the vetting process, according to Houck’s analysis.

“It’s no surprise that Tim Walz has gone into the witness protection program first started by the Biden-Harris 2020 campaign after blanketing the liberal cable networks during the vetting process to show Kamala Harris his loyalty to her,” Houck told the Caller.

“Between July 23 and August 6, he appeared on CNN and MSNBC at least seven times, with an additional hit on taxpayer-funded PBS. Morning and evening, Walz made sure Harris and her team saw him at all hours of the day. Importantly, none came after July 30 as the vetting intensified and Harris conducted final round interviews,” he continued.

The shift is a jarring departure from Walz’s pre-nomination media blitz, which skyrocketed him into liberal stardom and separated him from the other contenders in the VP sweepstakes.

Walz has done one tv appearance since being named Harris’ running mate; his joint interview on CNN alongside the vice president. Over the first month of her presidential campaign, Harris faced scrutiny for a lack of unscripted moments. The pressure forced Harris to commit to setting up an interview by the end of August, though rather than doing a one-on-one sit-down, she brought Walz along.

Neither Harris nor Walz have held a press conference since beginning their run, only taking a few questions from reporters in gaggles when on the road.

While Harris and Walz have done one media appearance together, Senator J.D. Vance has done 94 interviews, press conferences and gaggles with the media since Trump named him his running mate on July 15, according to Axios. In the month of August, Vance did all five major Sunday shows, the outlet reported.

“Tim Walz is in hiding, just like Kamala Harris, because Harris is a San Francisco liberal desperately pretending not to be one, and no one trusts Walz to remember every part of the fictional record the campaign staff has created for both of them. They are both radical leftists, whose policies would only send the American economy into a deeper and faster spiral, and the last thing they want anyone to do is answer questions about anything,” Tim Murtaugh, senior adviser to the Trump campaign, told the Caller.

“Walz has lied about so much that they have no idea what piece of his embellished life story he’ll roll out next. Next thing you know he’ll claim to have quarterbacked the Minnesota Vikings to the Super Bowl while simultaneously serving in Afghanistan,” he added.

Before Walz was shielded from mainstream media appearances, the governor was going viral for his line of attack on Republicans. During his July 23 hit with MSNBC, Walz deemed Vance, Trump and other Republicans “weird,” a message that would prove to be a bit troublesome for Vance as he started to hit the campaign trail.

“Walz sat with incredibly friendly liberal journalists who saw no problem in helping Walz advance his case, including his astroturfed insult against former President Trump, Senator Vance and the Republican ticket as being ‘weird.’ The moniker kept Walz in the minds of liberal journalists like star-crossed lovers being unable to think of anything else after laying eyes on each other. Why? He said exactly how they feel about conservatives,” Houck told the Caller.

Scott Jennings, a longtime GOP adviser in Kentucky and veteran of numerous campaigns, told the Caller that the Harris campaign must have judged Walz as a risk to the operation and chose to sideline him as a result.

“They’ve obviously judged him to be a huge risk. His limited engagement on the CNN sit-down was ridiculously bad,” Jennings told the Caller.

After Harris named Walz her running mate, the Minnesota governor has been caught in several lies, including some about his service record.

The Harris campaign unknowingly began the unraveling of Walz’s military story after unearthing a 2018 video of the governor pushing for gun control, saying that “those weapons of war, that I carried in war” should stay only in combat. Social media users were quick to point out despite Walz’s statement, he never saw war.

Veterans in Walz’s unit previously accused him during his run for office in 2018 of retiring from the National Guard to run for Congress once it was revealed that he would be deployed to Iraq. Vance has lobbed attacks at Walz on the campaign trail, questioning why Americans should trust a guy who lied about his military record.

The Minnesota Governor is also the subject of a congressional investigation relating to his ties to the Chinese government. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer wrote a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray to request all documents relating to any Chinese entities that the now-governor may have interacted with while on his dozens of trips to China.

Lies aside, Jennings told the Caller that another reason for sidelining Walz could be because he would be pressed about a policy platform Harris is yet to define. More than a month into her campaign, Harris has only unveiled her economic policy and has yet to put a platform on her website. The Trump campaign, by contrast, features the Republican National Committee’s platform as its own.

“In his defense, she has no idea what her positions are so how could he be expected to know anything?” Jennings said.
